The future of humanity lies in AI. As Chairman & CEO Masayoshi Son has explained, AI has evolved beyond "computation" and "memorization" to the realm of "understanding," "inferring," and "creating". As a result, #AI can improve our lives in various ways. We envision a future in which countless AI agents are developed and deployed across a wide range of industries, communicating with one another to accomplish complex tasks. Let's build a more connected, empowered, and joyful world through AI. #SoftBankGroup

About twenty years ago, we aimed to build a mobile communications business from scratch, believing in the arrival of the mobile Internet era. We then had the opportunity to acquire Vodafone K.K.’s shares in April 2006 and entered mobile communications, which was rebranded as SoftBank Mobile Corp. (current SoftBank Corp.) in October 2006.

"Some say that AI has reached its limits, but I don't think that way." At SoftBank World 2025, Masayoshi Son, Chairman & CEO of SoftBank Group Corp., stated that AI has not reached its limits—it has advanced beyond the understanding of those with such claims. He explained how “Stargate’s Law” could push AI capabilities a billion times beyond today’s models. This rapid progression, happening within our lifetime, will redefine common sense in ways beyond imagination. At the SoftBank Group, we are committed to driving this transformative journey toward #ASI. Together, let's build a more connected, empowered, and joyful world through AI. 🎥To watch Son's full keynote speech, click here: https://lnkd.in/gdwpUU8Y

A company's #philosophy can describe a company's #why.
Our philosophy, "Information Revolution — Happiness for everyone," is one of the key foundation blocks of the “SoftBank Next 30-Year Vision” announced by SoftBank Group Corp. Chairman & CEO Masayoshi Son in 2010. When developing the Next 30-Year Vision, we asked every group employee about their vision for the company. We got an overwhelming number of responses related to “contributing to the #happiness of people.” But in order to make people happy, it’s also important to understand what makes people sad. When we put the question to the general public, loneliness seemed to be one of the saddest things in life. The happiest thing in life was connecting with something or someone. By driving the Information Revolution to build a more connected, empowered, and joyful world for everyone, the SoftBank Group hopes to deliver to the world more experiences that are rooted in connection.

“True contentment with one’s own achievements cannot be found in monetary value.” Masayoshi Son, Chairman & CEO of SoftBank Group Corp., has shared this realization many times. At 25, Masayoshi Son was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis and given just five years to live. During his hospital stay, he reflected on true happiness of the people, “if I could see the smiles on the faces of my family, employees, customers, and even a total stranger, because of the SoftBank Group’s actions, it would make me truly content regardless of whether they knew of the SoftBank Group or not.” It was then that he resolved to devote his life to those thoughts, the method for actualization being the driving of the Information Revolution. This unchanging conviction is encapsulated in our philosophy, Information Revolution—Happiness for everyone. Through our business, we strive to bring emotional meaning and happiness to lives, and in everything we do, we aim to drive the Information Revolution to build a more connected, empowered, and joyful world.
